A multivehicle crash on Interstate 10 near 51st Avenue in Phoenix injured seven people, leaving some in critical condition, including one with a possible arm amputation, officials said.

The Phoenix Fire Department found four adults and three children in need of medical attention Tuesday afternoon, and at least one person had to be extricated from the vehicle, said Capt. Jake Van Hook, a spokesman with the Phoenix Fire Department.

A 39-year-old woman was taken to the hospital in critical condition with an arm injury that "has been described as an amputation," but police are saying the details concerning the woman have not been confirmed, Van Hook said.

A 69-year-old man was also taken to a trauma center in extremely critical condition with life-threatening injuries, Van Hook said.

The 51st Avenue exit on I-10 westbound is closed, the Arizona Department of Transportation said in a tweet.
